HARTWELL - SIX.
The Literary Society is on a boom.
Quite a number joined at the last
meeting.
The friends of Rev. M. T.. Carswell
are gratified to see him up and about
again.
An enterprising young lady of our
town walks two miles into the coun¬
try each morning to teach school.
All honor to all such brave and self-
reliant young ladies.
Drove after drove of horses and
mules continue to come from Tennes¬

would be kept at home that would
be found mighty convenient.
A gentleman who lives not far
from Royston came into our office
Monday to pay his subscription, and
when he found that he was two years
in arrears wanted to pay us the inter¬
est. It paralyzed us. Such an offer
had never been made to us before.
When we expressed our astonished
gratification he begged us not to pub¬
lish bis name, as he would be ashamed
for people to know that lie was so
far behind for his paper, which was
but a result of carelessness. The
principal satisfies us.
The Hartwell Bank is now on a
boom. The farmers of our county
have very wisely determined to pay
cash for their supplies this year, and
the bank has been furnishing them
large amounts on satisfactory terms.
A few days ago they made a loan of
over $1,600 to one of the Alliance
lodges of our county, which will be
distributed among the members, thus
enabling them to take advantage of
the low cash prices, which will be
quite a saving and of mutual benefit
to farmer and merchant. Other
lodges would perhaps do well to fol¬
low suit. It would be well to get the
Hartwell Bank’s terms before borrow¬
ing. It has plenty of money on hand.
